New Madden 25 Blocking Details Unleashed

There has been no shortage of Madden 25 info over this past week, and today is no different after another EA Sports Game Changer has unveiled some new information surrounding this upcoming season’s football game.

Most notably on the list is the addition of 20+ new pass blocking/pass rushing interaction animations, which should create a much more varied feel to the trenches than we’ve seen in past Madden titles. I should also mention that while this list does talk about “eight new double-team” animations, we don’t yet know whether this only accounts for run blocking, or if it includes pass blocking as well. In the build Shopmaster played, double-team pass blocking didn’t appear to be present.

The necessity of double-team pass blocking is important to note, because it’s something that did not truly exist in pass blocking for Madden 13, and often times caused pressure from fewer pass rushers to be more effective than it should be.

The latest build expected to be shown at E3 in a few weeks will probably give us the best indication of what we’ll see this year in Madden NFL 25, beyond just its blocking. We’re a bit curious if the new “Switch Assist” feature in Madden 25 will impact the defensive line as well, for those times you may want to switch to the d-line and quickly pull them off the line of scrimmage.
